The Dual Action Clamp, 150mm is a one-handed quick‑action clamp designed to hold workpieces securely during assembly, gluing, routing and light fabrication tasks. Its primary use is to provide fast, incremental clamping pressure without the need to adjust a screw: squeeze the trigger to advance the sliding jaw and engage the ratchet, and release to reduce pressure. This makes it especially useful where frequent repositioning or single‑handed operation is required.

The clamp features a hardened steel sliding bar with a protective powder coat finish and a glass‑fibre reinforced nylon body for reduced weight and excellent impact resistance. The moulded handle and trigger are manufactured from engineered nylon for durability, while the non‑marring jaw pads are made from thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) to protect finished surfaces. Because this is a quick‑action style clamp there is no conventional threaded spindle, so thread type, head type and drive are not applicable.

Manufactured under an ISO 9001 quality system and produced to meet relevant British and European hand tool recommendations, the Dual Action Clamp is intended for medium‑duty workshop work rather than heavy structural clamping. Typical applications include woodworking (glue‑ups, mitre assembly), light metalwork, model making, laminating, fixture holding in electronics assembly and general DIY. It is commonly used in joineries, small fabrication shops, automotive trim work and maintenance departments.

Key benefits include rapid single‑hand operation for one‑person tasks, steady incremental clamping via the dual‑action ratchet mechanism, and protection of work surfaces through the soft pads. The steel bar and coated finish give good corrosion resistance for normal workshop environments, while the reinforced nylon body provides a favourable strength‑to‑weight ratio and compatibility with jigs and fixtures typically found in production settings.
